Good Points: Amazing styling and looks - much better in the flesh!Great sound with a sports exhaust. Good value for money.Easy maintenance.
Bad Points: Hot hot hot inside.Cramped interior for anyone 6 foot or over.More noise than performance.
General comments: I have owned a gt6 mkIII for a little over two months now and it is a joy to drive. So far I've only had issues with a carburettor float which was easy to sort.The driving experience is a lot of fun - you are so low to the ground an arm out the window can touch the tarmac. This gocartesque feel makes everything seem twice as fast. In reality though this is not a rocket car and the best acceleration you get is between 30 and 50mph. A little front heavy on the turns which makes it all the more fun/frightening.The car looks fantastic but it really is tiny. Parked against a modern hatchback it is dwarfed. I'm only 5'7" so doesn't bother me but I think its probably not wise if you're a tall man or woman.Front up bonnet release and plentiful parts new and reconditioned make the gt6 an easy and (relatively) cheap car to maintain. Just don't buy a total rustbucket.

A well sorted GT6 is a blast to drive. It is as charismatic as the XKE, but cheaper to own and operate.

The Triumph GT6 is a fairly rare car nowadays, I guess that there must only be a few hundred left on the road in the UK. It's a really good looker too so if you own one expect to turn a few heads.
First impression as you get into the car is how compact it is, it's a low car with low seat height and once inside it's a snug driving position with the padded transmission tunnel giving some additional lateral support. Start the car and the 6 cylinder engine sounds smooth and refined and has a love ...

The Triumph GT6 MK3 2000cc is a much overlooked practical little classic sports car with real punch from a 6 cylinder 2ltr Engine. Part of the Triumph Sports Six family, which means cheap and plentiful spares as it shares parts with the Spitfire, Herald and Vitesse. It's a great looking little two seater coupe with a fantastic turning circle and on some models an optional rear seat was fitted although this is quite small. The rear luggage space is ample for most day to day things and the simplic ...
